That Petralli is a beauty

Greg, I've heard that the 1887 or 1888? Scrapps were once part of a larger "poster" with multiple lithograph diecuts. The ones that I own all have back damage or residue and it's tough to find them in good condition. It is likely that they were punched out and then added to scrap books. In fact, I have 1 which is attached to a scrap book sheet along with another baseball diecut. I'd love to see the poster come up for auction with multiple baseball diecuts (scrapps) but not aware of any out there.

They tend to be tougher to find but don't command the premium that one would expect unless they're a HOF and/or in VG+ condition.
